TIRUNEERMALAI
This Divya shetram is located in the outskirts of Chennai near Pallavaram.
This shetram has three shrines for Ranganatha, Trivikrama and Narasimha on the top of a small hillock and a shrine for Lord Rama at the base.
The moolavar in the temple at the base is called Neervannan in a standing posture. Since the shrine together with the hill was surrounded by water
during the visit of Tirumangai Azhwar, it gained the name Tiruneermalai. The Thayar is Animamalarmangai. The Theertham is Manikarnika Thatakam and the Vimanam Toyagiri Vimanam.
It is believed that Valmiki worshipped the three forms of Vishnu on the top of the hill and while worshipping at the base temple he found Ranganatha and Ranganayaki giving darsan to him as Rama and Sita. Adisesha, Sanku and Chakra appeared as Lakshmana, Bharatha and sathrugna and Garuda as Hanuman.
Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam:
Tirumangai Azhwar ? 1078-87, 1115, 1521, 1554, 1660, 1765, 1848, 2069, 2763, 2777
Bhoothatahazhwar ? 2227 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayiram Divya prabhandam). Panguni Utthiram is an important festival.
